Amazon updates look of proposed spheres

Amazon is scheduled to take the plan for its massive campus back to the Downtown Design Review Board on Tuesday.

This meeting covers the three connected spheres, a 38-story tower and a park between Sixth and Seventh avenues and Blanchard and Lenora streets.

At the initial design meeting in May, the board, among other things, asked for more information on how the proposed buildings would fit in the area, said the plan lacked attention and interest along Lenora Street, encouraged designs that allowed more interaction between pedestrian areas and building interiors and suggested more pedestrian areas close to buildings, including a mid-block crossing from Lenora Street.

A report for Tuesday's meeting includes many new images, including a change in the look of the spheres, using a "Catalan skin" configuration.

"As shared at our last meeting, the intent behind the new design is to create an alternative environment at the center of the three-block development which will serve both as a workplace environment and as a visual focus for the entire project and surrounding neighborhood," the report says. "The generative idea is that a plant-rich setting has restorative qualities that are not found in the typical office."
